Everton’s next transfer twist: Moyes in panic mode as new targets emerge

David Moyes has signaled growing dissatisfaction with Everton’s minimal transfer activity as the new Premier League season approaches. His frustration comes after a 13th-place finish last year and a summer that has so far seen only a handful of signings, including Thierno Barry from Villarreal, along with Mark Travers and Adam Aznou. Carlos Alcaraz’s loan has also been converted into a permanent deal, but the club still appears to lack depth in several critical areas.

Despite these arrivals, Moyes remains concerned about the squad’s overall strength, especially compared to last season. The release of several players has arguably left the team weaker in certain positions. The manager, speaking during Everton’s pre-season tour in the United States, made his urgency clear: “We’re desperate to get things moving on. We’ve got to start getting moving, because it won’t be long until it’s a bit close to the end of the window.”

With the clock ticking towards the end of the transfer window, Everton’s options for reinforcement are narrowing. Goodison News has evaluated potential targets that could still arrive before the season kicks off. One of the prominent names linked is Tyler Dibling, a promising midfielder from Southampton who impressed last season, even though his club endured one of the worst campaigns in Premier League history.

At just 19, Dibling’s performances have caught the eye, despite Southampton’s struggles. The south coast club reportedly values their young star at around £40 million, but there’s speculation that negotiations could drive the fee lower. Everton’s interest suggests they see Dibling as a midfielder capable of injecting fresh energy and creativity into their ranks.

Another player under consideration is a striker who managed to score 10 goals for a struggling Leicester City side last season. Moyes is believed to be interested in offering him one final opportunity in the Premier League, seeing him as a potential alternative to Barry. While not necessarily a regular starter, such additions could prove valuable in cup matches or as late-game substitutes.

The urgency for new signings is evident, with Moyes’ public comments serving as a clear call to action for the club’s hierarchy. As the transfer window draws to a close, Everton faces mounting pressure to bolster its squad and avoid a repeat of last season’s disappointing finish.
